Alicia's Visit

Yay for Visitors!  One of my very best friends from college came to visit over Halloween weekend.  Alicia moved to Colorado a few years after college so it is so hard to find times to see each other.  I hadn't seen her since her wedding last summer (15 months!) but we didn't miss a beat.  We were so late coming home from DC so poor Alicia spent hours at a restaurant waiting for us on Friday night.

Saturday was gorgeous so we went straight to the beach and went on a long walk.  After we stopped at Quarter Moon Cafe for some good iced coffee drinks and Halloween candy on the patio.  That evening was Halloween so we passed out candy, walked Meredith around and grilled out.

Sunday we took Alicia to Wrightsville beach and brunched at Oceanic.  We had another gorgeous day! 

We spent the rest of the day in historical downtown Wilmington walking the riverfront and stopping for drinks and cupcakes.  We finished the night with sushi. 

 

Monday was a rainy day but we planned an indoor activity.  Surf City has a sea turtle hospital and my neighbor is a volunteer at it so she gave us an awesome private tour.

We went out to eat for a quick dinner before bringing Alicia to the airport.  When we were almost there Alicia got a call that her flight was canceled and then her new flight the next day ended up being delayed a few times.  Despite all the travel issues, we still had the best time.  We are so thankful for visitors.  We are hoping to meet up with Alicia back in Minnesota this spring and then eventually visit her in CO!
